➡️ Bias: bearish (0 of 5 favorable filters, 3 unfavorable).

📈 TECHNICAL (4H)
• The rebound reached exactly $2,575 (Fib 0.5) and was rejected.
• SMC: rejection inside the bearish $2,548–2,600 order block/FVG; the lower high at $2,584 remains intact.
• Elliott: the rebound would be wave 4; wave 5 would target lows below $2,414.
• In contrast: 4H lows are still rising, and whales are buying spot near $2,520.
• Confluence −23/100 (3 bearish schools, 1 bullish).
🧱 Resistance: $2,555–2,585 · Support: $2,495–2,505 (50-day EMA) and $2,414
➡️ Bias: bearish.

🎯 VERDICT: SHORT (sell short)
Both agree. Don’t sell into the 50-day EMA: wait for a rebound.
• Entry: $2,555–2,585
• Confirmation: 4H close back below $2,555
• Target: $2,430
• Stop: $2,615
• R/R: 1 : 3.1
❌ Invalidated by a 4H close above $2,615.
⚠️ If it breaks below $2,495 without a prior rebound, don’t chase it.
